Saturday night, we wanted to go check out the Colosseum and we ended up missing the entrance hours so we can leave it for another day. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed the views from the outside! Also, we ended up catching Rome’s Pride Parade as it was passing by the Colosseum and it was quite the experience!

![yoon.rome.colosseum1 The Colosseum has certainly earned its popularity as it is terrific](http://blogs.iesabroad.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/P1040583-150x150.jpg)
![yoon.rome.pizza After working up a sweat, we grabbed some pizza. Pizza here is thin, oven-baked, and meant to be eaten by one person!](http://blogs.iesabroad.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/P1040698-150x150.jpg)
![yoon.rome.pride3 The parade concluded with a mini music/dance festival on what's been nicknamed Rome's "Gay Street"](http://blogs.iesabroad.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/P1040759-150x150.jpg)

I'm currently studying Architecture and minoring in Urban and Regional Planning (which has me even more excited to study abroad in Rome with its rich architectural history). As a lover of art, food, and adventure, I look forward to delving into the dynamic Italian culture and sharing my experiences!</span></p>
